JPH11253286A - U-shaped rolling type closely fittable pillow - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pillow which prevents one's head from slipping out even when he turns inconspicuously his body during sleeping by quickly rolling the pillow to the right or the left in accordance with the variation of the head's direction and making the part from the neck to the head fit to correspond to the curve while turning upward and supporting the head at a little higher position while turning sideways, in order to reasonably and securely keep a sound sleep posture. SOLUTION: In this pillow body 1, the bottom 2 formed to have nearly the same thickness S with the level difference between the shoulder part and the rear head part, and both sides 3, 4 formed to have nearly the same thickness K as the level difference between the shoulder part and the side face part are connected so as to bend the outsides to have a U-shaped form so that the head is slightly pressed at the inside through respective constricted parts T. A quick rolling function is imparted to the pillow body 1 by penetrating a hollow frame- shaped core member 5 into the bottom in the pillow body 1.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pillow for achieving good sleep and good health.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art If a pillow is not suitable for the user, sleep is impaired and recovery from fatigue is delayed. In addition, deformation of the spine and the like may occur, and various physical disorders such as shoulder stiffness, constipation, modulation of endocrine balance, and immunodeficiency may occur. In a general pillow, the shoulder and the side face have a large head drop when placed in a horizontal position, and as shown in FIG. Deformation occurs. Such an unreasonable posture may cause various physical obstacles such as stiff shoulders. Therefore, various types of pillows in consideration of health have been proposed and provided in order to prevent the occurrence of such physical disorders.

[0003] However, in reality, it is difficult to find a pillow suitable for oneself. Some conventional pillows, such as step pillows, attempt to cope with the drop between the shoulder and the side face when the orientation is changed by lowering the center and raising the left and right portions.

Also, in the case of a donut pillow, as a result, the center is low or hollow, and when the head is in the center of the pillow, it hits the hollow part of the donut and becomes low, and the head becomes the side of the pillow. When it is in the part, it hits the core of the donut and becomes higher, and the effect corresponding to the drop between the shoulder part and the side face part is expected similarly to the step pillow. However, in the step pillow and the donut pillow, when turning over, the temporal part does not necessarily abut on the drop position between the shoulder part and the side face part. The part slips or falls off the pillow, and even if the pillow has a head and side head drop,
It was not very useful.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and the pillow itself gently squeezes the head excluding the face (that is, the occipital region and the temporal region), and unconsciousness during sleep. Even if the body moves, the head does not shift or fall, and the pillow is quickly rolled according to the change in the orientation of the user's head, so that the head and shoulders fall It is intended to provide a pillow capable of preventing deformation of the neck, shoulders and spine caused by the pillow, and reliably maintaining a natural posture of the body during sleep.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, according to the present invention, a pillow 1 has a bottom 2 formed to have a thickness S substantially equal to the height of the back and the back of the head, and a height difference between the shoulder and the side face. The side portions 3 and 4 formed to have a thickness K substantially equal to are formed in a U-shape whose inside is lightly pressed through the constricted portion T so that the outside is curved and the pillow body is provided. 1 is a U-shaped rolling contact pillow characterized by imparting agile rolling properties to the pillow body 1 by passing a hollow frame-shaped core member 5 through the inner bottom portion.

Further, in the above-mentioned structure, a vent hole 6 with a net is provided in the central portion 2a and / or the constricted portion T of the bottom portion 2.
